Using the Exchange
==================
Main Screen
Overview
-----------
The first screen you see is where you can search and post new buy/sell orders.
Here is an overview of each element:
- Market Summary - Pressing this will take you to the market summary screen.
- Your Orders - This will take you to a screen where you can view and cancel
your existing orders.
- Item - This field is for entering the item name (e.g. default:cobble) of the
item you want to search or post an order for.
- Amount - This field is for entering how many of the item you want to buy/sell
when posting an order. It has no purpose in searches.
- Select Item - This button takes you to a screen for choosing your item
graphically, instead of manually typing an item name.
- Rate - This field is for entering the desired price per item when posting an
order. For buy orders, this is the maximum price - your order will also accept
items that are cheaper. For sell orders, this is the minimum price - your
order will also accept buyers that are willing to pay more. The Rate field has
no effect on searches
- Search - This button searches existing orders for the selected item. If you
have the "Sell" box checked, it will only display buy orders, and will display
them in descending rate. If you have the box unchecked, it will show sell
orders in order of ascending rate.
- Post Order - This posts a new order for the item with the given amount and
rate. If the "Sell" box is checked, this is a sell order, so the exchange will
remove the items from your inventory. If it's unchecked, you are making a buy
order, so it will deduct credits from your account. If there are already
matching orders, it will immediately fill your order up to the amount possible,
and the remainder will stay as a new order.
- Sell - This checkbox determines what kind of orders to search for, and also
what kind of order you are posting.
- Search Results - This will display the results of your search. Clicking on an
element here will automatically fill the "Amount" and "Rate" fields, so that if
you click "Post Order", it will match the order you clicked.
At the top of the exchange form there are four tabs: Market Summary, Buy, Sell,
and Your Orders. Pressing each tab will take you to the indicated screen as
described below.
Market Summary
--------------
This summarizes the various items available on the exchange. From left to right,
the columns display the item name, the description (what is shown in inventory),
the amount requested by buyers, the maximum rate offered by buyers, the amount
offered by sellers, and the minimum rate offered by sellers. It is updated
periodically.
the tool wear if applicable, the amount requested by buyers, the maximum rate
offered by buyers, the amount offered by sellers, and the minimum rate offered
by sellers. It is updated periodically.
Buy
-----------
The upper-left corner shows the open order book for the selected item,
consisting of the three best sell offers (lowest asking price and least tool
wear) followed by the three best buy offers (highest offer price and highest
acceptable tool wear). To the right is an image of the selected item, entry
fields for the quantity and offer price, and a drop-down field for the desired
tool wear: "New" (no wear), "Good" (up to 10% wear), "Worn" (up to 50% wear),
and "Junk" (any amount of wear). To qualify, a seller must offer an item with
wear equal to or less than the indicated amount (e.g. if you select "Good" you
may receive an item with only 5% wear, but not one 15% worn). Similarly, the
offer price is the highest price you are willing to pay; in practice you may
pay less depending on the open sell orders. Orders are always fulfilled at the
price listed in the open order book.
At the bottom of the form is a grid similar to the creative inventory. You can
page through the available items using the "<<" and ">>" buttons and select the
item you wish to buy simply by clicking on it.
To finalize the order, press the "Place Bid" button. Note that it is permitted
to enter an order which exceeds your available funds at the time the order is
placed. As matching sell orders are located, the order will be fulfulled until
there are insufficient funds to cover the next item, at which point the
remainder of the order will be cancelled.
Sell
-----------
As with the Buy screen, the upper-left corner shows the open order book for
the selected item. Instead of a static image, the selected item appears as a
1x1 inventory. At the bottom of the screen is the standard 8x4 player
inventory. To choose the type and quantity of items to sell, move the items
from your player inventory to the exchange inventory. Below the exchange
inventory is an entry field for the desired asking price. To finalize the
order, press the "Sell" button. As with buy orders, the asking price is the
lowest price you are willing to accept, and you may receive a higher price
depending on the open buy orders.
Unsold items in the exchange inventory are returned to the player inventory
when the form is closed, or to the player's Inbox if the inventory is full.
(However, items in the exchange inventory at the time of a server crash, or
other abnormal condition, may be lost.)
Your Orders
-----------
This screen lets you see and cancel your orders. To cancel an order, click the
order and press the "Cancel" button.
Select Item
-----------
This displays a creative-style inventory menu for selecting an item for searches
or posting orders. To select an item, drag it from the inventory to the box near
the bottom of the form
order and press the "Cancel" button. If the order was sell order, the items
held in "escrow" are returned to your player inventory. If any of the items do
not fit in the inventory they are placed in your Inbox instead to be claimed
later.
Buying/Selling
==============
Once you have opened the exchange, you have a few options. If you don't already
know what you want to buy or sell, you can look at the Market Summary to get a
glance at what people are offering. After you have decided on what you are
going to do, return to the exchange page.
going to do, return to the Buy or Sell page.
If you are selling an item, you should check the "Sell" checkbox. Otherwise,
leave it unchecked. Next, you need to select the item you want to deal in. There
are two ways: typing the item name (e.g. default:cobble) in manually to the item
field, or using the "Select Item" menu. If you haven't already decided on a price,
or you want to make sure your order is filled quickly, you can conduct a search.
To do this, click the "Search" button. This will give you a list of results. If
you checked the "Sell" box, then these will be buy orders, and will show the
maximum price per item each buyer is willing to accept. Otherwise, these will be
sell orders, displaying the minimum price each seller will accept. If you click
on a search result, it will automatically fill your Amount and Rate fields to
match.
The Amount and Rate fields are used to decide how much and how expensively you
want to make your order. When selling, the Rate field is the minimum price you
will accept. When buying, it is the maximum. Once everything is filled out how
you want it, press the "Post Order" button. If there are matching offers (when
you post a buy/sell offer, there are one or more sell/buy offers with a price
at least as good), then that part of your offer will immediately be filled. For
example, if you post a buy order for 10 cobblestone at 5 credits each, and there
is a sell offer for 5 cobblestone 3 credits each, it will give you 5 cobble
immediately, and leave an order on the exchange for 5 more cobblestone.
When selling, the Ask field is the minimum price you will accept for each
item. When buying, the Bid field determines the maximum amount you are willing
to pay. If there are matching offers (i.e. there are one or more offers with a
price at least as good and a compatible tool wear level), then that part of
your offer will immediately be filled. For example, if you post a buy order
for 10 cobblestone at 5 credits each, and there is a sell offer for 5
cobblestone at 3 credits each, it will give you 5 cobble immediately at a
total cost of 15 credits (the order-book price), and leave an order on the
exchange for 5 more cobblestone at 5 credits each.
Once your offer is on the exchange, you can view or cancel it from the "Your
Orders" menu.
